I feel like they are judging every rudder adjustment I make even though I KNOW they don't care. Happened today with OnTheHouse. Pretty much this 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
73 tincan_SC Members 397 posts Report post #4 Posted September 23, 2016 Not here anymore either....it’s just another lamb for the slaughter. The match making (MM), Random Number Generator (RNG), the randomness of game play, the invisible ships, the invisible torpedoes etc. etc. makes for dead butterflies. The heart racing jitters was replaced by high in the sky repair bills and slaughter producing games and of course an Essex, Midway or even a Yamato is ready to rip you a new one. Have FUN. Like to hear others joy. PS: Other tier 10 players may also be joyous as ‘fresh meat’ is served. (-: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2,297 [A-D-F] alexf24 Members 7,877 posts 43,421 battles Report post #5 Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) I did when I got close to all of my 5 T10 ships. Like them all, still. (Gearing, Khabarovsk, Shimakaze, Zao, Hindenburg). I am not close to any of the others at the moment, nor am I interested in any of the remaining ones. I'll get to them eventually but none holds my interest (except maybe DM, but I disliked and sold NOLA and have no interest in Balti at their current status). I see people complain and dislike being targets. That is because most people, when they start in WOWS, want to get to Yammie and Montana (aka targets). Trust me, a Gearing or a Zao can take care of themselves and can inflict pain in the process. A Yammie is powerful, but most people's play with it does not impress me.

486 [QC103] RoundsDownRange Beta Testers 1,395 posts 16,457 battles Report post #8 Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) I do still get butterflies, heart racing and jittery upon purchasing a new higher tier ship, it’s because I know I am going to have to pay through the teeth to play it because high tier matches stink to high heaven. Also because I will have to listen to the whine fest about how OP this is or that it, or how poor that ship is and all the nerffing and buffing [edited]. But then I throw up and go play World of Tanks and have fun and feel a whole lot better. Edited September 23, 2016 by RoundsDownRange Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,523 Stauffenberg44 Members 4,335 posts 10,761 battles Report post #9 Posted September 23, 2016 I've only got one tier X (Khabarovsk) and in no rush to get more. I've assiduously avoided higher tier battle for the most part because I was gravely warned, as a newb, that "they be peopled with meth-heads with maxed-out captains", and dragons and such.

16 [WAR-S] CS_Raston Members 114 posts 25,829 battles Report post #10 Posted September 23, 2016 I did when I got my first tier 8 but after seeing the costs playing those levels I don't look forward to it anymore. It's like getting a promotion at work, you may get a little more income but you find the responsibilities outweigh the benefits. These days I get more excited getting my low tier ship captains to higher levels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise, not really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
519 BossmanSlim Members 1,549 posts 5,319 battles Report post #13 Posted September 23, 2016 Tier 8 is as high as I go. Yeah, new tier 8 ship! Now I get to play in tier 10 matches, ugh, I guess I grind out the modules and then play something else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2,344 [NG-NL] Reymu Members 7,138 posts 12,574 battles Report post #15 Posted September 23, 2016 I was thrilled when I got Ibuki, a bit when I unlocked Hipper, and delighted when I revealed Taiho. But given the boring campfest, only Taiho regularly leaves port. My CAs just can't do much about the stalemate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

234 Carrier_Junyo Members 738 posts 6,483 battles Report post #18 Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) Wow, never expected such lack of enthusiasm from folk. There is yet to be a Tier X ship that didnt drop my jaw to the floor and giggle like a little 12 year old school girl who gets to be within 500m of Justin Bieber. Khaba, DM and Zao made me feel dirty on how OP and hilariously fun they are. Yammy was a bit underwhelming due to stratospheric expectations I had for it since day 1 of this game, but it was still a jaw dropping experience nonetheless. Gearing didifnt feel night and day compared to the already amazing Benson and Fletcher, but that ROF brings an uncontrolloble giggle with each LMB click. Now that I've experienced the most powerful BB, DD, CAs any other Tier X I unlock will not have the same effect I bet. For example, i test drove the Moskva and Hindi on the PT, and granted they are AMAZING ships, the fact that I had already driven the Zao and DM, kindo of did not impress as much. Triple TBs and Quad FTs though, now that I'm looking forward to... Edited September 23, 2016 by lord_of_storms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
